Changsha, June 2025
Simaero, global provider of pilot training on full-flight simulators, announces that its A320 ceo/neo full-flight simulator (FFS) at the Changsha Training Center has received official certification from the Civil Aviation Authority of Malaysia (CAAM). This new certification complements the simulator’s existing approvals from the Civil Aviation Administration of China (CAAC) and the European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA), reinforcing Simaero’s commitment to global standards and expanding its reach across Southeast Asia.
The A320 ceo/neo simulator, manufactured by China Simulation Sciences Co., Ltd. (CSS), is the first in the region to receive triple certification from the CAAC, EASA, and CAAM. With CAAM approval, Malaysian pilots can now complete their full A320 type rating and recurrent training at Simaero’s modern training facility in Changsha. This development allows Malaysian airlines to take full advantage of Simaero’s training expertise, now in both France and China, to support their pilot development needs efficiently and cost-effectively.
One year after the launch of the Changsha Training Center, the addition of CAAM certification represents a major step forward in Simaero’s strategic vision to position Changsha as a leading hub for pilot training in China and Southeast Asia. With a focus on high-quality, flexible training solutions, the center is equipped to meet the rising demand for skilled pilots across the Asia-Pacific region, further establishing Simaero as a trusted training partner for airlines and aviation professionals throughout the subcontinent.
